Chapter 124 Don't Talk Foolishly
Shi Yao went through two routines every day. She paid respects and practiced calligraphy in the morning, and returned to the courtyard at noon. She stayed in the small courtyard, and her Aunt Liu Hua began to teach her needlework.
At noon on the 20th day of the first lunar month, Shi Yao came back to Guanju Courtyard for lunch. After Shi Mingwu left Beijing, Zheng fell ill again, so Rong was still in charge of the household affairs. Rong served the lady and prepared dishes every day. Shi Yao felt embarrassed to meet her, so she no longer stayed at Ganlu Hall for lunch.
Shi Mingwei happened to come to visit Shi Mingzhu, and when he bumped into Shi Yao, he smiled sinisterly and said, "Second sister looks very good."
Shi Yao sighed secretly, how unlucky she was to meet such a useless guy like Shi Mingwei!
Because of the scandal of Shi Mingwei murdering her husband and forcing his wife to hang herself, although her voice has recovered and the marks on her neck have almost healed, she is still too ashamed to see people. She hangs around in and out of the mansion, trying to hide for as long as possible to avoid being laughed at.
Shi Yao smiled wryly and said, "It's the same for you. Second brother looks so rosy-cheeked, I guess he's getting better. Congratulations."
She bowed and was about to leave, but Shi Mingwei stood in front of her and asked sinisterly, "Why are you in such a hurry, second sister?"
Shi Yao smiled and asked, "Where is my second sister-in-law? Where did Yun Ya and Yun Yi go to play? Why did my second brother come to visit my eldest sister alone?"
Shi Mingwei thought that Shi Yao mentioned Le Anning to mock him, so he also sneered: "Second sister, do you know what others say about you?"
Shi Yao smiled coyly and raised her sleeves to half cover her face: "I have been listening to them for a long time. They praised me for being kind and generous, beautiful as the moon, cute and clever, filial and polite..."
"Bah!" Shi Mingwei sneered, interrupting Shi Yao's shameless boasting, "You really take these polite compliments seriously? Everyone is saying that you are a jinx!"
Shi Yao asked in panic, "Who did I kill? Who died? Is it because it's not the first month of the year yet, so it's inconvenient to hold the funeral and there's no obituary?"
Shi Mingwei: “…”
Do you think he's not dead yet?
When Le An Ning pinched him, he really thought he was going to die.
"Shut up your crow mouth!" Shi Mingwei was afraid of being contaminated by the bad air, so he hurriedly shouted, "Shi Yao, our family was originally fine, but because of you coming, it gradually became a joke in the capital! And you still say you are not unlucky?"
Shi Yao looked Shi Mingwei up and down, and asked in surprise, "Second brother, how ignorant are you? Before I came to Beijing, you slept with young widows, flirted with decent women, had the gambling house owner come to collect debts, and fought with a playboy for the courtesan until your head was broken and bloodied...
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you have done all these things. Because of these stupid things you have done, our Shi family has long been the laughing stock of the capital! Don't you know?"
"Shi Yao!" Veins popped out on Shi Mingwei's forehead. He clenched his hands into fists and thought hard about the consequences of punching Shi Yao away. Only then did he suppress his anger.
Shi Yao scratched her ears and said with a smile, "Don't shout so loudly, I can hear you. I'm still young and not hard of hearing. Second brother, we are the same. Next time someone laughs at me for being a jinx, I will reply to him, don't leave out my second brother. Both my second brother and I are jinxes.
Well, now we have to add the eldest brother and the eighth brother. We can’t forget the seventh brother either. If we forget him, he will be angry that others neglect him. Hey, if you put it this way, we are really siblings. None of us was picked up from a haystack!"
Oh shit! Shi Mingwei was so angry that he almost died.
He regretted stopping Shi Yao.
I can't beat him, and I can't scold him, so I just feel upset for no reason!
"Shi Yao, don't be so arrogant. One day, you will pay the price for what you have done!"
After uttering these harsh words, Shi Mingwei turned around and walked towards Lanpei Courtyard, thinking fiercely, wait and see, Shi Yao is in the Duke's Mansion, he has many concerns and can't do anything about her, wait until she gets married, he will have his own way to deal with her and her husband's family!
No matter who she marries, can he be more powerful than the Duke's Mansion?
It would be easy to deal with her husband.
Shi Yao hummed a song and flew away jumping and skipping like a primary school student.
"I am a painter with strong painting skills..."
Shi Mingwei heard the singing and turned around. Seeing this scene, he was so angry that his nose was crooked and he cursed bitterly: "You don't look like a lady from a noble family. You are crazy. How come you didn't fall to death?"
chirp-
Shi Mingwei tripped over the threshold and fell flat on his face.
"what!"
Hearing the scream, Shi Yao quickly turned her head, held onto the door frame, bent over and laughed until her stomach hurt: "Oh, second brother, look at you, you're just talking nonsense when you have nothing to do, aren't you?"
The maids and servants were originally in a hurry to help Shi Mingwei, but when they heard what was said, they tried to hold back their laughter so much that their shoulders were shaking.
"Shi Yao!"
Shi Mingwei's balls ached so much that he grimaced, felt helpless and furious, pounded the ground with his fists, glared fiercely at the maids and servants who dared to laugh at him, and tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
The maidservant shrank her neck, hurriedly helped him up, and pushed him into the door.
Shi Yao was afraid that Shi Mingwei would hit her out of impulse, so she ran away in a hurry: "Close the door quickly!"
After hearing this, Shi Mingwei got angry again!
Shi Mingzhu heard the noise in the room, rushed to the door, and hurriedly ordered the maids to help him in.
"Second brother, where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
"It's okay. I just broke my coccyx. I'll be fine after I take it easy."
Shi Mingwei sat there for a long time, and the pain that had hit the top of his head gradually disappeared.
He was like an angry bear, walking around, stamping his feet, and beating his chest with fists.
"Shi Yao, this witch, I will make her marry the worst man in the world and never be able to turn her life around!"
I will be a cuckold who can't stand up, and then I will crawl in front of him to beg him and kowtow to him to apologize! Shi Mingwei imagined viciously.
Shi Mingzhu tried to comfort her for a while, then hesitated and said, "... Second sister is indeed a little unruly. She even dares to tease her brother. She is lawless. I have a way to teach her a lesson."
"What method? Tell me quickly, sister!" Shi Mingwei asked happily, rubbing his hands.
Shi Mingzhu hesitated and whispered in her ear, "February 27th is Grandfather's birthday, and there will be a prince from the palace to congratulate him.
Why don't we make an effort to marry the second sister to the prince as a concubine. With her status as the third concubine's daughter, if she's lucky, she might be able to get a concubine."
When Shi Mingwei heard this, he knew that the plan was to destroy Shi Yao's innocence.
He had done this once before and didn't realize how vicious Shi Mingzhu's idea was.
Except for those he considers to be his own people and those who are of higher status than him, he treats everyone else as grass.
Can the fate of an insignificant person be told?
Can the innocence of grass and weeds be considered innocent?
Whenever he stepped on a blade of grass, he was giving it great respect.
Shi Mingwei frowned and said hesitantly, "Marrying the prince as a concubine, wouldn't that be a bargain for her? Who knows, it might just be what she wants. She's a country girl, and she came to Beijing for wealth and fame, isn't it?"
